MAC came to NYP! By EMRS Team 2

Introduction

What is MAC? If you are thinking about McDonalds or Apple MacBook, then you are wrong! MAC is a manufacturer of cosmetics that was found in 1984 by Frank Toskan(Left) and Frank Angelo(Right).

MAC is a well known cosmetics brand and is sold worldwide. Many may not know that MAC actually means "Makeup Artist Cosmetics". They provide a range of varieties of products for the everyday consumer which includes eye shadows , lipsticks, lip-gloss, foundations, concealer, nail polish, mascara and many more.

As MAC is a well know and popular brand, we are very excited that they are coming to NYP to held this event, specially the ladies in the team! We are also thrill to hear that there will be up to 50% off all products! Girls, prepare your wallet with cash cause... IT'S SHOPPING TIME!! But before that, we need to prepare to set up the events area first!

Preparation - 21st April 2014

One day before the event, our supervisor, Mr Sudesh, brought us down to the atrium where the event will be held to inspect the area. We took note of where all the power sockets are and also estimated where the tables will be placed.

We helped MAC to deposit and sort out the products one day before the event.

The guys are helping out even though they are not familiar with cosmetics! 

  

Our guys are clueless but they still did it! *Clap Clap*

On the day of the event - 22nd April 2014

On the day of the event, EMRS crew reported at 7:30A.M to set up the area. Some of us even woke up at 5A.M! We moved the logistic from logs room to the atrium. Thank god we have macho guys in our team! 

Setting up the area~ Morning work out guys!

Putting up the products in straight perfect lines. We are professionals ;)

Over 10 different kinds of Eye Shadows to choose from!

One of the best sellers! 

All the make up sets! Best seller at the bottom right *SOLD OUT*

MAC's foundation! (I even got one for myself!)

Now that we are ready.........

LET THE SHOPPING BEGIN

Even Lectures came down to support the event!

Testing out the MAC lipsticks

MAC was glad that the responses was overwhelming.  

1 hour before the sales ends! 

 LOOK AT THE QUEUE!! 

  

Zhen Hao was happy to see all the girls that came to buy the MAC products! *SMILE*

To end off, IT WAS HUGE SUCCESS! 

As this was our first event after joining EMRS for a short 1 week, we were unsure about the program flow and we faced some problems. Though throughout the event, it was really hectic and busy but we managed to pull through with the help of each other.

What's the best way to learn other than getting first hand experience? Through this event, we learnt how to deal with vendors and train on our critical thinking skills when a problem arises. Other than that, we learnt that we need proper planning for the event to ensure smooth execution. We also learnt to think out of the box in search for ways to market MAC and control the traffic flow. Through this event we actually learnt the way each member work and what are their strong points.

Overall, we learnt lots and will be more prepared for our next event! Cheers EMRS! Lets work hard together!

Farewell

You'll never fly, if you're too scared of the heights

You'll never live if you're just too scared to die

Everybody wants heaven, I know

But darling freedom ain't free, it’s a long road

You'll never find your place up there in the sky

If you never say goodbye…

All good things must come to an end and on 9^th April, Jia Xin and Jeremy organised a farewell session for EMRS students. The session happened from 9am to 5:30pm in school. We lined up a wide range of special activities and games for this special day!

Icebreakers

Name Bingo

Bingo is a game where each person will be given a sheet of bingo paper with 5X5 grid of personal statements. Each person had to go around the group and ask people to sign on the grid that describes them.

Tangled

Each team has to stand in a circle facing each other. Students then have to hold another student’s hands to form a knot. When the knot is formed, teams will then attempt to untangle themselves as fast as possible to emerge the winner.

Toilet Roll Game

Students  have to form a circle using the roll of toilet paper provided. Each student has to tear off the sheets of toilet paper they would normally use and then pass the roll to another person. For each piece of toilet paper that they pull, they would have to say one fact about themselves.

Werewolf

There are two phases: "Night," when the werewolf may eliminate a player from the game, and "day," which the players have to vote to eliminate a suspect. These phases follow each other continuously until all the werewolves have been eliminated. Some players may be given a role with a special ability. Common examples include: Hunter, Cupid and Witch.

Amazing Race

Thereafter, everyone gathered in the classroom to kick start the amazing race. Each team was allocated a station. Teams will incur  time penalties if they fail to complete the station within the given time. The final pit stop was at SBM sky garden. The first team to reach the pit stop (sky garden) wins the game.

Station 1: Scavenger Hunt

The organizers prepared a list of items and the teams would have to gather all items on the list or perform tasks or take photographs of the items as specified

For this particular station, the teams were given an option to pick a task. For strangers, the team had to approach strangers at the venue to accomplish the given task. For timeline, the teams was presented with six pictures of a celebrity and they must place them all in chronological order from the earliest to the latest.

Station 5: Pictionary

One team member would spin around 10 times. After which he/she would go to the facilitator to get the first word. The player would then run back to the team and attempt to draw that word out. When any of the teammates guessed the word correctly, that player would then run up to the facilitator again to get a new word.

In conclusion, we had a fun and exciting day embracing and appreciating the presence of each other.

We have gotten to know each other for this entire semester and now we will go our separate ways. Some will remember and some will forget each other, but we will always have a part of each other inside us.
